I'm 23, recent graduate, in my career, but not Corvette demographic. Driving a Camaro nobody thinks much, just say I love your car and ask what I do.

Actually the C7 was pretty much designed for your demographic.

Thats a shame the young'ns still feel this way, I drove a 68 in HS, used. This is suppose to be "Americas" Super Car. I for one do not regret my decision.

Don't regret getting a 2SS Camaro. I got a 2SS Camaro for my wife and then got myself a C7 Corvette. We tried to keep it all in the family by getting a Velocity Red Camaro and a Torch Red Corvette. We parted ways when it came down to transmissions. She has an auto and I have a manual. And the Camaro and Corvette are garage mates too like my wife and I are soul mates.

Man, if I had known what the new Stingray was going to look like when I bought my Camaro over 2 years ago, I think I might have just used my down payment to fix my other car up instead and hold out 2 more years. 2 years worth of car payments and higher insurance with a new car and I could have had almost half the price of a new Stingray saved up. But I'm plenty happy with my Camaro and don't plan on getting rid of it, so maybe I'll be able to swing a used Vette in a couple years to sit alongside my Camaro.

Saw a red one today, I say they are the nicest car out there right now for the money!
Don't get me wrong I still love my Camaro and it still turns head!

Corvette is too small. Only 2 seats.

Look forward to a test drive though.

Dude. Who gives a single rats A$$ what other people think about you and your car? Drive what you like, what you can afford, what will make you smile when you punch that throttle.

My friends make fun of me, call my car a "Mullet-Mobile", hate on the color (yellow... I know I know),ask if it is loud enough, girls assume I am *AHEM* compensating.

I don't care at all. I love the car, I love the mods I have, I love the way I feel when I drive her, I love everything except the headroom. What relationship doesn't have some problems though


If you want a C7, man, go friggin snap one up and never look back.

You tell people their opinion will matter when they start paying your car note.

haha I had one guy I work with tell me my car was obnoxious. I just laughed it off and told him when he was done being a child with his cracker jack Genesis Coupe then we could talk cars, until then I told him to be quiet and let the adults talk.

I am 29 and I fully intend on getting a Laguna Blue Stingray in about 3 years. When I bought my 06 GTO back in 2009(I was 26) I initially wanted and was trying to swing an 05 Vette but just couldnt make the numbers work. In my opinion anyone who calls a Vette an old mans car is just butthurt becuase they cant afford one and they are stuck driving the likes of an SRT4 or a 4.6 Mustang.
